Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha made an appearance on WIP in Philadelphia with Anthony & Glen (via SportsRadioInterviews.com) and claimed that going 8-8 in Philly is a lot different then when he went 8-8 during his time with the Raiders.

“It’s true. The 8-8 in Oakland? We were perennially the last team in the AFC West. We would win maybe two games a year or four games a year. When we got to 8-8 and it was like wow! There is so much improvement. You’re not excited you didn’t make the playoffs, but you’re excited that we were moving in the right direction. I love how different that is over here because 8-8 is not acceptable. It doesn’t matter where you have come from. 8-8 should always be we are playing below where we should be playing. Out here that is the mentality. 8-8 shouldn’t be anywhere near what we are thinking. That was great.”

I agree with Asomugha’s perception of the Raiders. They just want to have some hope of making the playoffs every year, where as the Eagles expect to be in the mix for a Super Bowl every season.
